Disposable plates at a holiday drop-in?

[Anonymous]

We use real dishes. We have two dishwashers, and when we have this many people, we hire either one person to work in the kitchen, or caterers (who bring dishes). I wouldn't feel good about myself using disposable. I feel like that's for people having bbqs in the Deep South in the summer.

You're a snob.

OP here - fwiw DH is from Charleston/Mt Pleasant and his parents have a summer bbq that's catered with staff.

The Deep South summer bbqers are classier than I am with my holiday drop-in flailing.

I was at an event this summer that used disposable plates and cutlery from Costco. They were high quality.

Yes, of course I’m aware.

Disposable is fine of course. But I think I’d go with plain white instead of holiday theme.
